I have been training at the Peoria Athletic Club for seven years now and have loved every minute of it. As an average guy with no martial arts experience, I was a little intimidated to walk into a place like this but I soon found out that I had nothing to worry about. The instructors were very friendly and immediately made me feel like a part of the family.Since then I have made a lot of good friends and learned some awesome technique. I would highly recommend training at the Peoria Athletic Club to anybody who is interested in learning martial arts.

After deciding to begin learning martial arts, I was determined to join the absolute best academy in Central Illinois. As a small and relatively unathletic guy, it was important for me to find a school that could provide highly technical instruction, and personal attention to help me effectively apply the techniques to defeat larger and stronger opponents. I researched and attended every notable school in the area, and found that no other academy could compare with the expertise at the Peoria Athletic Club. In the past year, the instructors at the PAC have taught and tested my ability to defend myself in a combat scenario, provided me the opportunity to train with some of the top Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai and MMA fighters in the world, and helped me to get into the best shape of my life!If you are looking for the best martial arts school in the area, look no further.... Regardless of age, experience or skill level, the instructors and students at the Peoria Athletic Club will
